We’re Busy

Been a little busy the last few days. First we were in California’s Mother Lode for a great story on Gold. That will air soon, but cell coverage was spotty at best. Now we have moved to the north a bit, not far from Sacramento, where a tanker fire has 5,000 homes evacuated in Lincoln. Here is one of my pics that you’ll see on fox news.com

I am sure you heard the fire here was caused by two campers who didn’t put out the campfire!!! millions of dollars were spent~ all that damage- and they might get 30 months and 25,000 fine- Smokey the Bear is not happy!! and did you get your cd’s?
LDG- the stuff went out in the mail today- It should be out on Monday, since I made it to the post office as they were closing~
my new kitty sends her love! her brothers and papa Tama love her!
lots of hugs to you and yours! 😀

Good luck and good hunting out there on the Irene story. Gee… first a Virginia earthquake, now a Mid-Atlantic region typhoon er… hurricane… sounds like things over here… let’s not be aspiring to any tsunamis or anything, ne?

Thank you, LDG. We dodged this one, and are getting some glorious life-giving rain because of it. We are blessed.
Oh, Sylvia, I’m so sorry about your SIL’s mom. And how wonderful and sweet of you and Larry to go. I know they appreciated it.
I’m looking forward to fall, my very most favorite time of year.
Hugs, and I hope everyone is doing well.

Thanks Cheryl. We were able to book non-stop flights to/from Orlando but ended up buying 1st class tickets due to limited seat availability. It was worth every penny because we needed to be with family at that time. Some things are priceless, and being with family is always on top of my list.

We had a small miracle on Sunday. Bengals beat the Browns. Hubby had on his Browns shirt and I of course was wearing my Bengals tee. We were both surprised by the game outcome. Somehow I think the Bengals may have had their best game of the season!

We’re getting along, over here. Finally got a break in the weather long enough to do some good (private life: garden and neighborhood things; public life: back on rebuilding/recovery efforts for up north) but we sure got drenched by the late summer typhoons. The best news is that we seem to have gotten through the hottest part of the year without very many power blackouts.

On the politics side, we’ve said goodbye to yet another administration… only to get a new one that drove up in a clown car er… isn’t exactly up to the job. This one’s not going to last, IMO, but they may do some damage to national tax policy (raising taxes rather than doing some much needed cutting of government expenses) before they are gone. ((sigh)) Then again, there wouldn’t be as much work for me if politicians knew what they were doing, so some small silver lining to that cloud…

Fun stuff: KittyCatsThree are recovering; Ice Hockey season comes soon; looking to have a couple of old friends from the ‘States come visit this autumn. All good, that.

We celebrated my Mom’s 95th birthday yesterday. She still lives in her house and is fairly “independent”. She manages with help 4 hours a day and is able to do most things for herself. Mom is an avid Fox News watcher and has quite a few comments for the current administration in DC!!!

Thanks for posting some stuff on here. Been a busy few weeks, I am on day 18 in a row and am covering the looney circus that is MJ. The people that follow him…to these events…even in his passing are just odd.
